When logs attack! Michigan man suffers head trauma

A log was just sitting there, waiting, for its time to be used as firewood or mulch.

But this log's fate was interrupted...

A 19-year-old man from Muskegon was found guilty of attacking another man this log.

January 29, 2009: DailyPress.net: Dale Hillsburg was convicted Wednesday in Schoolcraft County Circuit Court on a felony charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. Charges stem from an incident in Schoolcraft County Aug. 28, 2008.

Hillsburg was attending a party at a residence in Gulliver when he became embroiled in an altercation with Matthew Fischer, 23, Gulliver. Hillsburg struck Fischer with a 3-foot long, 3-inch wide log. Fischer suffered head injuries and was taken to Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital.

Hillsburg took to the woods to elude the police. The Michigan State Police found and arrested him.

Hillsburg's sentencing has been set for March 5. He faces up to ten years in prison.

When I was younger, we went into the woods to have pallet bonfires and other wholesome activities our parents would have been pround of (shout out to Woofley).
